Hi there!
Well, after a couple of highlights but also some strains with some failures in Athens (we talked about that in a previous blogpost), it was highly welcomed that our next stop let us to an island, with less traffic and noise and with a sea view anywhere you're looking at - that's how we took the ferry und set out for the way to Mykonos, one of the most famous island in the Cyclades of the Aegean Sea.

To take things from the beginning, we did not have a good start on Mykonos, but anyways after initial difficulties, we had the best time there! What happened? Well, another episode of #expecttheunexpected brought us to the booked apartment that firstly looked totally different from the pictures on AirBnb (in a negative sense) and secondly, was more than just dirty - that disgusting that from the very first second on it was clear we could not stay even for the rest of the day. (We could show you a couple of pictures, but we better refrain from doing so and spare you the sight!). Additional challenge: Because of Greek bank holiday the next day there, the island was very crowded and it was extra heavy to spontaneously find an available accommodation that appeared to be clean, nice and not cost 10.000 EUR a day :D.
So, we stayed for an hour there to do research on accomodations, talk to the office, document everything on pictures and then unfortunately, went straightly into an argue with the host who was other than understanding but rather outrageous and rude.
However, as I always use to say #keepsmiling - because at the end everything went well - we called several hosts and one offered us to come by, see the apartment and then decide - and it was lovely, love on first sight - we had the best host and neighbors we could ask for and a stunning view! Other than the initial apartment, there was no pool which we could greatly do without, but as the neighboring host was so nice, she offered us to use her pool in our freetime! #shoutout to Laice and Dimitris - #bestshostever <3

After that stressy beginning and the high workload of the last weeks it was very welcomed that diconium had booked us in for two sessions of relaxing, calming down, scrubbing and massage at Ciel Spa Mykonos with an amazing view over the island - it was simply wonderful! #bigthanks
